Berry Cheesecake Gluten Free Pancakes

Gluten-free Berry Cheesecake Pancakes

In an attempt to use up some cream cheese I had in the refrigerator, I thought about creating a cream cheese gluten free pancakes recipe. At first, I thought of just spreading the cream cheese between the pancakes. Then I thought, what about if I could taste gooey chunks of cream cheese in the middle? – and then top them with strawberries, blueberries or blackberries? That would make a cheesecake pancake! I ended up adding some to the batter creamed, and the rest in chunks. Oh my! – very filling and much like a dessert without all the refined sugar!

You can be very creative with this recipe. Add blueberries to the batter, etc. Continue reading “Berry Cheesecake Gluten Free Pancakes”

Marmalade-Glazed Gluten Free Pork Tenderloin

Gluten Free Glazed Pork Tenderloin

This wonderful gluten free pork tenderloin recipe comes to us from 250 Gluten-Free Favorites by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt, published by Robert Rose. This would make a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner! But who would do the cooking? Don’t forget to use gluten-free dijon mustard. I use Grey Poupon. If you wish this recipe to be refined sugar-free please remember to use an orange marmalade that is refined sugar-free or sugar-free. I like the naturally sweetened ones or birch derived xylitol ones. Hungry anyone? Continue reading “Marmalade-Glazed Gluten Free Pork Tenderloin”

Gluten Free Tex Mex Salad

Gluten-free Tex Mex Salad

I didn’t feel like cooking the other night and my husband suggested a large gluten-free salad.  I started with lettuce and started adding ingredients one at a time, and ended up with this wonderful Mexican salad, which I thoroughly enjoyed!  You can top it off with broken gluten-free tortilla chips.  I had some blue corn tortilla chips on hand.  It made a bit colorful, as well.  I like saving the broken chips at the bag for salad or casserole use.  Make your own and add your favorite ingredients!

Fresh Watermelon Martini

I’m a sucker for anything watermelon including watermelon beverages both with or without alcohol. And a fresh watermelon martini is one of my faves, actually any melon. Martinis are naturally gluten-free, as the vodka is distilled, which most manufacturers claim removes any gluten. You will find that some vodka brands are made from wheat, rye, barley and fortunately, potatoes. I like to play it safe and use a potato vodka, but I have only tasted two, and do not care for either unless they are mixed with a lot of something sweet. Fresh watermelon, agave and optional citrus will do the trick! Continue reading “Fresh Watermelon Martini”

Gluten Free Banana Pudding

Gluten-free Banana Pudding

I am leaning more towards milk-free recipes whenever possible. Therefore, I got in the kitchen to experiment with a dairy-free, milk-free pudding. In making this recipe it was obvious that using homemade almond milk with dates was going to make this recipe dark.  So, it was safe to add some pureed bananas well before serving, as they darken naturally. My batch was way too sweet, therefore, I reduced the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/3 in the recipe below. This makes a great gluten free dessert, but can be made with regular milk, as well. In that case you will want to stir the pureed banana in the pudding right before serving, as to prevent its browning. Enjoy this dairy free pudding. I did!

Gluten-Free Chili Without Beans and Tomatoes

No Bean No Tomato Chili

As most of you know most of my gluten-free recipes are made without tomatoes due to food allergies. This one is no different. I tried to make this chili recipe more on the milder side so that it is kid friendly. If making it for children, only use half the amount of cayenne or leave it out all together. You can substitute the little sugar for anything sweet: agave, molasses, etc. I have made a similar recipe before, but it contained red and green bell peppers; and another with meat and green chile. If you have tomato allergies or just watching the carbs this recipe is for you! This one is wonderful when used for chili cheese fries!

Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Pesto Sauce

Gluten Free Pesto Chicken Parmesan Over Pesto Spaghetti

My husband’s favorite dish is chicken parmesan. Since my father was visiting and can no longer eat tomatoes (too acidic) and I am allergic to them, I thought I would create a gluten free chicken parmesan recipe with pesto sauce, which we could all eat. I topped breaded chicken with a pesto cream sauce. Mmmm! Dad being 100% Italian, loved this recipe, as did we! It’s very rich, though! You may need a nap after, especially if serving pasta! I used some of the pesto sauce with Jovial’s gluten-free angel hair pasta (Capellini) and served it with gluten-free zucchini casserole without any added spices. I was so hungry and it was so good, I didn’t realize that I hadn’t taken a photo of one of our plates until it was half gone! Luckily I shot a photo of it in the skillet! I like this recipe, as you can bread the chicken hours in advance and place in the fridge when ready to cook! Continue reading “Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan with Pesto Sauce”

Basil Almond Gluten Free Pesto Sauce

My father is visiting us and he’s 100% Italian. I just had to make him some of my famous gluten free pesto sauce! The most delicious pesto sauce I have ever made contained blanched, slivered almonds instead of pine nuts. Since I had about 2 tablespoons of pine nuts left, I used them up by substituting them for 2 tablespoons of almonds. Dad loved it, even went back for seconds! Perhaps not the healthiest meal for someone in their 90s, but hey, he’s on vacation, and the garlic is extremely healthy! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.

UPDATE: I’ve since made this recipe using all almonds (soaked overnight and skin removed) and it was just as delicious, if not more! Continue reading “Basil Almond Gluten Free Pesto Sauce”
